Long-term labour market evolution shapes agricultural transformation through labour productivity growth and labour market transitions. Despite its importance in agricultural production, labour has been overlooked when exploring the agrifood-water-environment-climate nexus. Here we incorporate evolving labour markets into multisector dynamic modelling to examine their agroeconomic and environmental implications. Our projections show that the recent decline of global agricultural employment persists, with an estimated decadal decrease of 43 million people by 2100, strengthening the decoupling of labour from production. Exploring scenarios with varying labour productivity and supply factors, we also show a positive relationship between productivity-adjusted labour supply and agricultural emissions, with more pronounced and heterogeneous regional and sectoral responses. While highlighting the pressing need to capture labour dynamics in integrated human-Earth systems, our study lays the foundation for further investigation into labour market responses and feedback in broader scenarios.

Machine learning techniques for non-destructive estimation of plum fruit weight.

Plum fruit fresh weight (FW) estimation is crucial for various agricultural practices, including yield prediction, quality control, and market pricing. Traditional methods for estimating fruit weight are often destructive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. In this study, we addressed the problem of predicting plum FW using artificial intelligence (AI) methods based on fruit dimensions.

The contributions of academic drug discovery are well characterised in the US context but less well understood elsewhere. This paper provides a UK perspective, focusing on the activities of Drug Discovery Units (DDUs). These units have established themselves as coordinators of translational research, working at the early stages of the drug pipeline to link up the academic and industry capabilities needed to take drug candidates towards the market.

How important is girls' 'Biological Head Start' in explaining gender differences in education and the labour market?

Institute for social research, Oslo PB 0208, Norway. Electronic address:
We investigate whether gender differences in physical maturity during adolescence can explain gender differences in educational and labour market performance. Using survey data with measures of physical maturity linked to register data on education and labour market outcomes, we analyse the importance of physical maturity for gender differences in both the short and long terms. The results show that gender differences in physical maturity partially explain both the gender gap in educational performance (in girls' favour) and the gender gap in labour market outcomes at age 33 (in boys' favour).

Background: Owing to high sensitivity and ability for absolute quantification, the droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is widely used for viral and bacterial detection. However, few studies have been conducted on the application of ddPCR to identify the original plant species used in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicine.
Purpose: In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using ddPCR to differentiate between Notopterygium incisum and N.
